Another way to do it would be:
Name: rd=backup1\:/dev/nst1
with a backslash to escape the colon.

A colon separates server from device name, but nsradmin uses a colon to
separate field name from contents. The same would be true if you had a colon
in a group name; for example, a group that starts at midnight might be
called 00:00_Start. When referencing it via nsradmin you have to say,
"group:00\:00_Start".
